Our two abuse case rescues. In the Dave Barry tradition, a large main dog, and a smaller auxiliary dog.

How much time have you vounteered so far this year?

Grasshopper Green · 02-16-2006, 04:12 PM

4 hours so far. All in this month, I only recently started doing volunteer work

Electric blanket or quilt?

Dennis · 02-16-2006, 04:24 PM

Nothing beats a homemade quilt.

Winter wear: Wool or silk?

Force 10 · 02-17-2006, 06:46 AM

Silk. I can't stand to be 'bundled up' In fact, I used to wear only ear muffs and gloves while walking from the parking lot to work in -0 weather. People used to think I was crazy but really all you need is to keep the 5 points warm and the rest will be just fine.

Do guns kill people?

maleficent · 02-17-2006, 06:48 AM

nope -- people with guns kill people

but only when they need killing...

What's your favorite breakfast cereal? What's your favorite breakfast cereal when no one is looking?

Force 10 · 02-17-2006, 06:54 AM

Exactly.

I like all the nutritous cerials. I like to mix and match. Pour a little of this with a little of that add some of this and there you have it. Nuts, grans, fiber galore...that's what I like. Unless there's coco pebbles...Mmmmm coco pebbles - it's been too long!

The perfect date?

yellowchef · 02-17-2006, 07:37 AM

Hrm, one where the guy is willing to drop $300 for dinner at some fine dinng establishment

or one that involves a nice dinner, a movie at home and him making dessert for me. Then sleep... or sex whichever comes first..

yellowchef · 02-17-2006, 07:38 AM

Where is your perfect vacation spot? The one you want to go to but never visited.

Poppinjay · 02-17-2006, 07:54 AM

Ireland.

It's Friday, what are you blowing off or otherwise wasting your employer's money on?

JustJess · 02-17-2006, 08:16 AM

TFP, of course! Plus researching recipes. I'm hungry.

What are you doing for dinner tonight, and can I come over if it's not seafood?

SirLance · 02-17-2006, 08:28 AM

Eating out prior to a Thelonius Monk concert.

I don't think my wife would mind the company, but we're pretty romantic so probably not...

Have you ever had to care for a disabled person? How did you feel about it?

777 · 02-17-2006, 01:10 PM

A few times back in middle school. I was hanging out with a friend of mine and we were pushing kids in their wheelchairs around campus. It was odd indeed. I'm not sure that the mentally retarded twins in wheelchairs knew that we were there.

And then there's my friend Jorge who walked with cruches. We're were, like, 12 or 13, and mostly played video games. After a few years, we grew apart. And we had some fun at Disneyland. He brought his wheelchair, and his brother and me got to the front of every line

Besides replying to this post, what are you doing right now?

JustJess · 02-17-2006, 01:15 PM

freaking out about weight gain and picking apple pieces out of my teeth.

do you drink soda, pop, juice, water, alcohol, or other as a preference?

Charlatan · 02-17-2006, 01:27 PM

Depends on what I am doing. Just home from work? Bring on the alcohol! With dinner? Water or maybe some wine. Breakfast? Coffee or juice.

Throughout the day? Water for the most part. Tap water is fine by the way.

How many jobs have you held in your life? List them.

maleficent · 02-17-2006, 01:35 PM

babysitter
lifeguard
camp counselor
Cashier in grocery store
Jester of the polyester palace (aka burger flipper at the bk lounge)
Bartender

Uh. Somewhere around 26.

EDIT: Took too long!!

My favorite job so far? Hard to say. Toss up between actress on a movie with a real set and I was the lead lady, and this job - Immigration Coordinator.

What would you do if you didn't have to make money?

shesus · 02-17-2006, 03:10 PM

I would be a personal shopper if I still had to work. But if I didn't have to work and I didn't have to have money to spend, I would just travel all over the world. I wouldn't have a house just a passport and be a nomad.

Do you like to camp and if so what is your favorite part of it?

fresnelly · 02-17-2006, 03:44 PM

I love to camp. I've camped out in both summer and winter. One of my favourite things is when you get up in the middle of the night, and it's completely quiet with the stars and moon lighting up the sky from horizon to horizon.

How would you celebrate a modest raise?

Lucifer · 02-17-2006, 04:49 PM

by buying a modest car

why, what are your plans for it?

fresnelly · 02-17-2006, 05:22 PM

I'm probably going to suprise my wife with nice dinner out - sans kiddo.

Do you have a favourite Comedian?

yellowchef · 02-18-2006, 01:05 AM

hrm, young.. Arron Karo an older one.. Robin Williams.. someone middle of the road.. Brian Regan or Dane Cook.

who knows your troubles?

Lucifer · 02-18-2006, 03:28 AM

the cats

who knows your secrets?

Charlatan · 02-18-2006, 09:21 AM

Nobody does. All of my real secret secrets are known only to me.

What sport do you like to play? And it the answer is no sports, why don't you play a sport?

maleficent · 02-18-2006, 09:27 AM

is arguing a sport? then that would be my sport of choice

otherwise none because i am completely a klutz wiht no grace or agility whatsoever...

what are you doing this afternoon?

Lucifer · 02-18-2006, 09:47 AM

I'm moving furniture around after my ex-wife moved out. Just trying out new positions for the couch and some bookshelves. The cats are freaked, they don't like change, they keep climbing over everything and mewing.

got any plans for the weekend?

shesus · 02-18-2006, 10:49 AM

We did have plans for this weekend. Two sets of them and they both got foiled so I'm staying in now. First we were supposed to go to LA to visit Sultana. However, jj bought a ticket for his daughter to see us this weekend. So no LA.

Then the flight that was to bring the daughter here got cancelled. So, I'm sitting around thinking about starting a painting and watching jj play Mortal Kombat and that will probably be my 3-day weekend.

What magical power would you like to have and why?

Lucifer · 02-18-2006, 12:54 PM

now that's a toughie. I was going to say "the ability to fly" cause that would be neat and a cool way to get around, but then "the ability to breathe water" could be pretty handy too. And lets not discount "instant teleportation" either. I think the magical ability I would like to have would be the ability to do magic!

Which Harry Potter character are you and why?

Poppinjay · 02-19-2006, 05:55 AM

Arthur Weasley, because he's an accomplished wizard who gets great joy from his hobby - all things muggle. I'd prefer to be Snape, but I'm not that duplicitous.

Which brings up the question, are you good or evil?

Lucifer · 02-19-2006, 06:50 AM

I'm good.

do you see the glass half full or half empty?

maleficent · 02-19-2006, 06:58 AM

i try to see it as half full -- but the again -- someone or something will come along and jar me back to reality and remind me that it is indeed half empty...

how's the weather by you today?

Charlatan · 02-19-2006, 07:07 AM

Fricken cold! Sunny though...

Do you like to sing?

paddyjoe · 02-19-2006, 07:15 AM

I do, but only for my supper.....

Would you rather see the movie, or read the book?

Fly · 02-19-2006, 07:20 AM

book all the way baby........

morning person or an evening person?

maleficent · 02-19-2006, 07:27 AM

i'm grouchy all day long... neither... but if i had to choose - morning... after copious amounts of coffee...

Do you believe in Santa Claus? Why or why not...

JustJess · 02-19-2006, 07:32 AM

yes. Because my mother still does.

Do you celebrate secular or religious versions of holidays?

Grasshopper Green · 02-19-2006, 04:01 PM

Well, since I'm not religious, I celebrate them in a secular fashion, if I celebrate them at all.

Would you ever consider plastic surgery?

maleficent · 02-19-2006, 04:07 PM

nope...as much as i hate what i look like... I dislike pain and spending money on myself even more... besides - i'd still be the same person...

What's your best feature...

noodle · 02-19-2006, 04:13 PM

My friends all say my hair, but I love my eyes.

What's your best personality characteristic?

Lucifer · 02-19-2006, 05:18 PM

My whimsical sense of humour

do you like to spend money on yourself or on others?

Grancey · 02-19-2006, 08:08 PM

I like to spend money on others...friends, family, strangers....I just like doing for others. Yes, I have been taken advantage of...

What are you looking forward to in the immediate future?
